Five Guys Walk Into A Bar (CD)

Faces

Amoeba Review

Jeff Hunt 05/27/2010

Five Guys Walk into a Bar... is the third and best compilation devoted to the Faces, released by Rhino Records in July of 2006. The Faces’ run was relatively brief, and their official discography is limited to four albums, but at their peak they vied for the title of World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band. This comprehensive batch of tracks is a crucial document; recorded between 1969 and 1995, the material runs the gamut, from concert recordings and studio hits to single-only rarities and BBC sessions. This was a group – led by vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Lane, and guitarist Ronnie Wood – that mastered endearing bluesy swagger and doleful, empathetic ballads, and any neophyte should start here.
